Graphing on Coordinate Plane First Quadrant

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) are the two lines that define the coordinate plane.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number (x) represents the horizontal position on the x-axis.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number (y) represents the vertical position on the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0,0).

Front

How do you plot a point (x,y) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move x units along the x-axis, and then y units up or down along the y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the first quadrant?

Back

The first quadrant is where both x and y values are positive, located in the top right section of the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point A located at 4 units right and 3 units up?

Back

(4,3) is the ordered pair for point A.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point B located at 2 units left and 5 units up?

Back

(-2,5) is the ordered pair for point B.
